Anatomical context of LCK

  • However, in this report, we now demonstrate that neither LCK nor FYN are obligatory for IL-2-induced growth of HTLV-I-infected human T cells [10].
  • Ligation of the CD2 cell surface glycoprotein expressed on T lymphocytes and NK cells induces protein tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the Src kinases, LCK and FYN [13].
  • Interleukin 4 inhibits IL-2-induced proliferation of a human T-leukemia cell line without interfering with p56-LCK kinase activation [12].
  • These findings thus imply the existence of other signal-transducing molecules, besides p56-LCK, that physically participate in IL-2R complexes and that are necessary for initiation of the biochemical events ultimately responsible for IL-2's pleiotropic actions on lymphocytes [14].
  • In conclusion, CD8alpha down-regulates the production of major Th2-type cytokines, in part mediated by LCK and/or linker for activation of T cells, and may induce differentiation of tumor-specific Th1 cells, which makes this coreceptor an interesting candidate to improve the clinical potential of TCR gene transfer to treat cancer [15].
 

Associations of LCK with chemical compounds

  • Furthermore, when cultured in the absence of IL-2, transfected T cells whose relative levels of p56-LCK activity were elevated by approximately 20-50-fold died with the same kinetics as control cells and underwent apoptosis, as defined by uptake of trypan blue dye and DNA fragmentation assays, respectively [14].
  • ZAP-70 becomes phosphorylated and activated by LCK protein tyrosine kinase after interaction of its two NH2-terminal SH2 domains with tyrosine-phosphorylated subunits of the activated TCR [16].
  • The IC(50) for LCK inhibition by imatinib was 0.6 muM to 0.8 muM in an in vitro tyrosine kinase assay [17].
  • These results, therefore, suggested that nocodazole prevented initial phosphorylation of the TCR by LCK after stimulation, and as a result, it blocked activation of downstream signaling pathways [18].
  • The introduction of a mutated cysteine motif in CD8alpha, which prevents its binding to LCK and linker for activation of T cells, did not adversely affect expression and T cell cytotoxicity, but counteracted the CD8alpha-mediated down-regulation of IL-4 and IL-5, but not IL-10 [15].
 

Enzymatic interactions of LCK

 

Regulatory relationships of LCK

  • Engagement of the CD19 receptor on human B-lineage leukemia cells activates LCK tyrosine kinase and facilitates radiation-induced apoptosis [20].
